(A/N: Sorry for the long wait. Unfortunately, I won't be able to update this story as fast as I did Duty of a Queen. Life has been taking up a lot of time. But here's the next chapter, ENJOY!)
Chapter 4
Abel guided the Princess inside from the dark night. He wrapped an arm about her waist and held her close to him. Abel had no idea what to do. He considered sending Alessa off to bed, and ending everything here. He looked down and saw a smile of pure joy on Alessa's face, as she fingered his long hair. Her pretty face had a pink glow on it. Slowly he walked Alessa up the stairs, and to the door of her bedroom. Alessa closed her eyes, and puckered her pink lips up towards the Priest. She looked adorable.
Abel stared at her for a moment. "What are you doing?" he asked a little amused.
"Allowing you to kiss me." Alessa replied. She put her hands on his shoulders and got on her toes. She was now only inches away from his mouth.
Abel smiled, and closed the final distance. Alessa was eager to have his mouth on hers, and felt as if her blood was on fire. She opened her mouth and pushed her tongue out. She played and poked at Abel's lips, until he granted her passage into his mouth. Alessa wrapped one arm around his neck and drew him even closer to her, and fiddled with the door knob of her room. Once opened, she pulled Abel in behind her and closed it shut.
Abel picked up the young girl and brought her to a near by table. Gently, he sat her down and started to lightly kiss her bare shoulder. Alessa gave a small moan, as cool lips touched her skin. She felt shivers race up and down her spine. Abel moved his mouth from her shoulders. Giving little kisses all across her collarbone.
Alessa played with the collar of his coat, and undid the buttons. Letting it slid to the floor. She felt Abel pick her up once more and walked her over to the large bed in the center of the room. Alessa laid down, her red hair spreading all over the light colored sheet. Abel smiled down at her again. He kissed her harder than he ever did. Alessa moaned into his mouth the moment she felt his hard body on hers. She felt her whole body begin to tingle all the way to her toes.
'Should I really be doing this?' Abel thought to himself. There was so much at stake here. First was his friendship with the King and Queen of Albion. Esther would never speak to him again, and Ion would hunt him down and kill him for breaking his only daughter's heart. Alessa told him she would give him peace. But peace wouldn't last. Eventually, Abel would end up hurting the poor girl. And that thought bothered him more than anything else in the world.
'Do I love this girl?' he asked himself.
"Abel..." Alessa moaned his name. Her hands roaming all over his back.
Abel snapped his head up as he was brought back to reality. What the hell was he doing? He quickly got up off of Alessa and fixed his clothes. When did Alessa start to undo his shirt? This was beyond wrong. Beyond sin. He was about to seduced an innocent girl. A girl he knew since birth.
"I'm sorry, Alessa." he began. "But we can't do this." He quickly turned and left the room. But not before seeing the mixed look of confusion and hurt in her eyes.
Alessa sat there for sometime. 'What happened?' she thought to herself. 'Did I do something wrong?' She laid down, face in her pillows and wept until she fell asleep.
Abel stood outside Alessa's door and heard her cry softly. He would be lying to himself if he said he didn't want her then, and there. He was ready to finish the act of love if she didn't moan out his name. He listened to Alessa cry until all was quiet again, then quietly walked down the hall and vanished into the dark Palace. He needed to be alone and relieve the ache in his groin.
A/N: Sorry it's a bit short. I have the next chapter already in the works and it will be longer :)
